=== ajmitch wonders how much of the client agent could be borrowed from code that's already written
ajmitcheg authtool, which I wrote for configuring network authentication on the client, and is quite modular12:29
ajmitchI've also been packaging stuff like fedora directory server for ubuntu12:29
chaksoh...fds!...it was crap for me...and i was nt able to make clients authenticated against fds :(12:30
chaksseeked their help, irc, none helped12:30
chaksand later i switched to openLDAP12:30
chaksand in one hour i had my setup12:30
ajmitchheh12:30
ajmitchthat's why I'm trying to make it easy to use :)12:30
chaksauthtool can be used for authentications and not sure what other features authtool has ;)12:30
ajmitchplus I like a mix of LDAP & Kerberos, though using pam-ldap over SSL/TLS isn't so bad12:31
ajmitchsince I wrote authtool, I know it can be extended easily :)12:31
chaksi haven gone to the Security stuffs like SSL/TLS yet :)12:31
